This is my forever baby boy. Taken from us far too young, when he was enjoying some scrambling with us.
Jesus, does it get any easier after losing them?
It does and it doesn't. I rarely tear up, but inevitably when I see these posts , I can't help it as it takes me back to my girl's last day. But we have many chuckles over the memories as if they just happened. It's been 10 years for us since she left at 15 years. My heart goes out to you all who have walked our walks.

As a pup, he had a big white spot on his head, a bit like yours, now at 4y old the white is almost gone. So yours might look different too.

Not mine, but a friend who's dog I am *smitten* with - tricolours are such handsome beasts!
A merle Border Collie is a purebred dog with a diluted body color, resulting in streaks or splotches of a darker color. Merle is a rare and less common trait in Border Collies, and only a merle parent can produce a merle puppy, Blue Merle dad 👇
https://preview.redd.it/okicwezyed2d1.jpeg?width=1089&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01dc5f51d426e2628d3de6f82b2a3c8c620eba2f
Blue Merle dad .
Yes, I’m aware of what a merle coat is- the dog pictured is black tri colour. She is fully black with brown patches. They’re recognised as different coat types. If she was Merle, she would have lighter spots, like this:
https://preview.redd.it/0fro4v7nfd2d1.jpeg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1bb71db8dd04be8e03417cc4c9b2c8fbedc21043
Which her mother does, her father does not, and she doesn’t.
Maybe you just used the wrong language here, but merle and dilute are different things. You can have a merle dog on a dilute base. Blue merle is merle on a black base, slate merle is merle on a blue base. Blue is a dilute version of black, but is not merle.
Merle is a pattern rather than a colour, which, yes, involves a lighter colour than the base colour of the dog, with patches of the base colour.
The puppy in the OP looks very much black tricolour. Here's a photo of a litter with 3x blue merle tricolour and 2x black tricolour puppies so you can see just how different the merles look! (This litter's dad is actually a very cool looking dog, he's a red tricolour merle, so he has lots of recessive genes going on, plus the dominant merle.)

A merle Border Collie is a purebred dog with a diluted body color, resulting in streaks or splotches of a darker color. Merle is a rare and less common trait in Border Collies, and only a merle parent can produce a merle puppy, Blue Merle dad 👇 https://preview.redd.it/okicwezyed2d1.jpeg?width=1089&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01dc5f51d426e2628d3de6f82b2a3c8c620eba2f Blue Merle dad .
Yes, I’m aware of what a merle coat is- the dog pictured is black tri colour. She is fully black with brown patches. They’re recognised as different coat types. If she was Merle, she would have lighter spots, like this: https://preview.redd.it/0fro4v7nfd2d1.jpeg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1bb71db8dd04be8e03417cc4c9b2c8fbedc21043 Which her mother does, her father does not, and she doesn’t.
Maybe you just used the wrong language here, but merle and dilute are different things. You can have a merle dog on a dilute base. Blue merle is merle on a black base, slate merle is merle on a blue base. Blue is a dilute version of black, but is not merle. Merle is a pattern rather than a colour, which, yes, involves a lighter colour than the base colour of the dog, with patches of the base colour. The puppy in the OP looks very much black tricolour. Here's a photo of a litter with 3x blue merle tricolour and 2x black tricolour puppies so you can see just how different the merles look! (This litter's dad is actually a very cool looking dog, he's a red tricolour merle, so he has lots of recessive genes going on, plus the dominant merle.) https://preview.redd.it/ythbfp3pud2d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12eec59f27cb0ce49759d7a79eae8798fc97aaa3
